Minus The Bear - Planet Of Ice Instrumentals album flac

Complete your Minus The Bear collection.

Following the success of Highly Refined Pirates' forward-thinking guitar gymnastics and Menos El Oso's groundbreaking glitch rock, Seattle's premier pop revisionists Minus The Bear dug into some of rock music's most ostentatious years for inspiration for their 2007 album, Planet of Ice. The title alone conjures images of Yes's Relayer album art, and the influence of the elder statesmen's symphonic scope can be felt throughout Planet of Ice's lush and intricate arrangements.

Minus The Bear are commonly known for their immense technical proficiency. The interplay between singer/rhythm guitarist Jake Snider and lead guitar prodigy Dave Knudson (yeah, he was in Botch for the people who need to know) is simply brilliant and lends to the claustrophobic, chilly character of the songs. Simply put, Planet Of Ice is just about the best damn record of 2007, by far the greatest Minus The Bear record yet, and probably one of the better records of the last few years.

As evidenced on Planet of Ice, Minus the Bear's corner of the indie rock universe is much like that of Death Cab for Cutie's: smoothly melodic and tinged with all kinds of forward-thinking ephemera. Knights" is dotted with electronic traces but driven primarily by spiky prog guitar leads and a driving pop hook

Minus the Bear have become confident, mature, and they are one of the most creative and talented bands i. For their third album, Seattle, WA band Minus the Bear truly created one of the most consistent and naturally flowing albums of 2007. After a few minutes listening to "Planet of Ice" it is clear that the band has begun to introduce more synth sounds into their style (perhaps a small clue towards more recent material, notably the very synth-heavy "My Time"). Also evolving are the vocals of lead singer Jake Snider. On "Planet of Ice", Snider's vocals seem to take on a more desperate tone, with more emotion than the somewhat flat, easy going vocals of earlier material.
